Tutorials

Ever find yourself wondering just how someone managed to create an image using different effects?

Here are three simple tutorials we hope will encourage you to try something new.

The Hot Seat

A lifelong interest in landscape photography has led Eyal Oren to make a study of his adopted hometown of Marblehead, MA. As you can see, his dedication is paying off!

Africa!

Dgrinners Harryb, Pathfinder, and others joined Andy Williams and Marc Muench on Safari in East Africa recently. Here are some awesome threads to check out!

I think that the location has a great deal of potential, and you have some nice tones between the green and browns. There is a nice leading line with the river, but it doesn't take me anywhere. It would be nice if there was a nice subject or eye grabbing object at the end of the river. For my eye, you haven't used your post processing to lead my eye through the image. Everything has about the same level of brightness, contrast and color. You haven't told us where you want us to look and what story you are trying to tell. Perhaps if the river is the subject, you could darken the surrounding so that the river becomes brighter and more prominent. Adding some local contrast in the water would enhance some of the reflective details.

Hi,

The river (and its reflections) were intended to be the subject - I wanted to convey the tranquility of the location and I can see what you mean about the evenness of brightness, contrast and colour. I may reprocess it as you suggest.

Thanks very much. :)
